I saw quite a few models and props at the 10th anniversary con. The Ark from Raiders was also there for some reason, and wise guys were taking turns lifting the lid. They should have rigged it to make noises or something. I doubt they would let anyone even touch such an iconic prop today.

Unfortunately, my camera flash malfunctioned, and the pics never came out right. (I ought to play with the negatives in the computer one of these days, and see if I can extract anything.) Alas, I wasn't able to stay long enough to get any autographs. (The hotel layout was a bit confusing which didn't help.) Someday I'll get my Chewie on Hoth photo signed!

There was a fellow in the dealer's room who had an amazing array of prop weapons for sale. (SW and Trek.) Some fellow looking over my shoulder jumped back when I pressed the power switch on a lightsaber. He must have thought it was actually going to do something. ;)
